Reimbursement for meals while traveling is based on actual expenses incurred. It is not an allowance given, but a reimbursement for what a traveler actually spent.

For trips lasting more than 24 hrs the max cap on food reimbursement is $55/day. The $55 can be divided up between the 3 meals as the traveler chooses, but any meal $25 and over requires an itemized receipt for reimbursement.

For travel less than 24 hrs, breakfast and dinner are only reimbursed if the traveler left home 2 hrs before or returned 2 hrs after their normal work day (ex: 6am or 7pm). The reimbursement of this meal is considered reportable income to the IRS.

*Lunch is never reimbursable on trips less than 24 hrs.
